PUPILS from Whinhill Primary took the stage by storm for a concert to showcase their talent.

The school asked children who participated in Inverclyde Music Festival to perform for their parents.

The programme saw pupils participate in one or more performances from Gaelic solos to favourites from the musicals and pop classics.

Acting principal teacher Pam Bradley said: “This is a chance for all the pupils to showcase what they did at the music festival in one location.

"A lot of work goes into organising the event but it is worth it to showcase the array of talent here at the school.

“Family and friends were invited along and they loved it.

"The children love it too and I believe we have some of the most talented children in Inverclyde on the stage.”

The Music Festival was the first time that violinist Lucy McCracken and pianist Alice McCafferty had performed.

Lucy said: “I was really nervous but I really enjoyed it. It's great to be able to perform for family and friends at school too.”

Primary six pupil Alice had only been playing piano for a year before performing in the recent Town Hall competition.

She said: “Playing at the festival was so nerve wracking because it was the first time I had performed for anyone.

“I was really proud of myself though and my family were proud of me too."

The school concert saw primary one pupils sing A Sailor Went to Sea, before Gaelic solos by Tristan Watterott, Eden Bryceland and Eden Murphy.

It was then the turn of primary two pupils to perform Doctor Knickerbocker before primary seven pupils Gaby Dickson and Ellie McNeil sang My Grandfather’s Clock.

Alley Alley O was performed by P3 before it was the turn of Alice on the piano.

She was followed by a Gaelic poetry recital and a duet by Ellie Rodgers and Kayla Nicol.

Violinist Lucy then took to the stage before Elianne Derrick, Sarahjane Orr and Logan Gorman of primary seven recited poems followed by a rousing rendition of Consider Yourself by primary four and five.

The Gaelic school choir then shone in the spotlight before the school choir took to the stage.

It was then the turn of the country dancers before primary six and seven pupils ended the show in style with Mamma Mia.
